Murray mixed up-and-under moves to get to the rim with a delicious second-quarter floater that banked in off the glass.

He grabbed 19 of his 48 points in the fourth quarter alone, courtesy of fadeaway jumpers, pull-up three-pointers and several strong finishes in the paint, as the Nuggets improved their record to 9-1.
